MockDraft May 2nd Prediction: Third pick
Strengths: Impressive maturity, polish and competitiveness at such a young age. The perfect wing player's figure, with golden height and considerable body thickness, is enough to challenge higher-intensity confrontation, and the upper and lower limbs already have a good training foundation. When he was in the Real Madrid reserve team, he showed extremely professional footwork and amazing body control. Can analyze the game quickly and has excellent court vision. The basic shooting skills are becoming more and more perfect: mid-range, layup, throwing and three-pointers are all efficient. Good at creating opportunities with the ball by himself, and can accurately spot teammates when encountering defense. Able to play the role of organizer, long-time cameo as the team's master, able to rely on his talent to directly attack the basket. The defensive end has a pair of quick hands and an instinct to judge where the pass is going. The game attitude is excellent, and blue-collar work can also be done. Basically the most talented basketball player produced in Europe in recent years.
Disadvantages: The biggest weakness is the speed on the feet and the speed of lateral movement, which makes it difficult for him to parry explosive opponents in one-on-one defense. At the same time, this limits his single-handed Chen power on the offensive end, and he relies more on feints and using body control to create confrontations. Lacks some killer quality against mismatched players.
